What font did you use in the original file? The PDF is using helvetica,
which does not have Hebrew.

Can you attach the original file?

I know that when OpenOffice uses font-fallback, and then you export to PDF
(using the font which you do not have), many times you get strange
results, as the proper font does not get embedded.

I have a bug which covers a usability issue regarding font subsitution:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23402

I am consiudering filing a seprate bug for this PDF behavier, althugh I am
not sure about it- it might be prevent once the usability bug gets fixed.

What do you think?
